Southfield High’s Brittany Hill takes a swing in a game earlier this season. She was named OAA All-Association.

Summer has officially taken hold, distancing itself from what was a rainy, cool and otherwise unpredictable spring.

But softball coaches in the Oakland Activities Association made one final gesture to the girls on their rosters once the season ended, tipping their hats to the best of the best, officially naming those deserving of All-Association accolades.

“It was another great year for our league,” Rochester Adams coach Fran Scislowicz said. “I think you see how tough it was at the top of each division, especially in ours, where we tied for a title. Three of the four divisions came down to the very end, and that’s what you like.”

Red Division
Lake Orion High was nearly perfect in capturing the Red Division, going 9-1. Troy High (6-4) placed second, and was followed by Clarkston High (5-5), Troy Athens (5-5), North Farmington (4-6) and Beverly Hills Groves (1-9).

White Division
The White was, by far, the closest division. Rochester High and Rochester Adams finished with identical 9-1 records and shared the top spot. Rochester Hills Stoney Creek (6-4) was third, followed by Farmington Hills Harrison (2-8), Farmington High (2-8) and Oxford High (2-8).

Blue Division
Berkley High was seeing Blue in 2014, and that was a good thing. The Bears took home the division title with an 8-2 mark. Birmingham Seaholm (6-4) was second, followed by Bloomfield Hills High (6-4), Auburn Hills Avondale (5-5), West Bloomfield High (5-5) and Royal Oak High (0-10).

Gold Division
Ferndale High closed out play in the Gold Division unblemished, taking home the title with an 8-0 record. Hazel Park High placed second (6-2), followed by Southfield High (4-4), Lathrup Village Southfield-Lathrup (2-6) and Oak Park High (0-8).
